Found the body of a beautiful chaffinch lying in the roof garden. I sent the ring details to the British Trust of Ornithology and found out that this little girl was ringed 370km away in
Balnain, Glenurquhart in the Scottish Highlands back in January 2015.

sometimes there’s a strange red ash left behind in the fireplace and I don’t know what causes it – a certain kind of firewood, or something in the wood, perhaps – but I feel a compulsion to treat it as something precious, like some rare mineral given up by the earth.

I used it to make these small paintings (8 x 8″).
